Why does autumn have to have a name like fall ‘cause that’s the one thing that I’ll never do at all Let me take you to the cemetery down the street We can make up stories based on names of people we can never meet I wish I knew how to love anyone as much as i love being asleep I wanna make you feel the closest you’ll ever feel to six feet deep And lately I’ve been having problems telling the difference between Lives I actually knew and ones that I’ve seen on TV
2.
I want everyone to go away But at the same time I want someone new to come around and give me something to be sad about I’ve been writing the book for the past 3 years of my life About some people who don’t care if I live or die And I honestly don’t know What upsets me so much About me and all my old friends losing touch And the last thing that I wanna do Is watch you, in platform shoes Worry about what you just might lose And you laugh ‘cause he thinks what exists just below your pelvis Is the only thing that’ll help this Night end faster And I honestly don’t know If I hate all those people that I do Just because they’re doing all the things that I want to

You were 16 when you decided that this just wasn’t for me I started painting my nails black The same color you started dying your lungs I let my hair grow down to my back Strands through my skin like embers Burning through your tongue And that’s why words wind their way out of my mouth The same way your fingers spit them out I was 18 when I learned what it means to be The definition of the jealous type Happier faces occupy my mind They’re all happier than mine
4.
I’m not paying attention when have I ever before? I suppose you weren’t either when you slammed the brake to the floor Of your car On a rainy October Thursday You said we had to do this your way Before we’d drown in each other’s bodies As we entered the hotel lobby You went out to the street And started puncturing your lungs with a penknife At first I could not believe But you said that this had always felt right As you bled out between the pavement and the sidewalk I couldn’t push words from my throat, I couldn’t talk Just like every nightmare where I forget how to speak as your eyelids began to leak If you have to bleed, bleed on me
5.
At night I can't sleep when I am crowding all my dreams with these ill-conceived fantasies of you I fell in love with the pictures you put up on the wall Here I am wondering just when you would fall Like I do every night when I lay in bed I'm worried you'll figure out what runs through my head Whoa ooh oh oh The ghosts from your apartment made a visit to my house and I Wish I could leave but I'm too scared to let them out
6.
I sent you a soliloquy from the inside of the church bathroom While the rest of my family is outside wondering who I'm talking to I told you that when it comes to feeling anything for anyone I am cursed And what you told me should've reassured me but it made me feel much worse You said I'm far from the first person that this has happened to Then you name some other people who've accomplished things I'll never do It's so bafflingly easy to make me feel special, and I guess that's the root of it all While many men live in search of fluttering heartbeats, mine causes far more problems than it solves And this is the moment when I realize I'm more scared of watching people grow up than I am of watching them die It's much easier to preserve a memory and just let them fade away Than it is to let something good never be the same Even if it's changing into something else good I'll make the same mistakes that I said I never would Now we're in Josh's basement and I never want this to end It's just me and my friends and our thoughts down on canvas and paper and tape and skin And every awful year that's passed has never ended with quite as much hope as this one I'll just sit back and relax and wait for myself to come undone And this is the moment when I start to think That what I want and what I need are definitely not different things If I can keep my mouth shut I'll remain more comfortable than ever And maybe I will finally have a basis for these endeavors And I won't care what she is or is not telling me And I will succeed at them, with or without jealousy
